Howdy guys,
i have been silently reading since months. I am into picking only since january. I think I pretty much know the basics, so I won't ask any questions why my locks stop rotating after some degrees. lol..
That said, there is still so much to explore... and I still do have problems with some standard 5 pin (euro) locks anyway. Especially with tight profile locks I sometimes seem to feel nothing.... way to go!
Glad to be here!

Greets, i've long had an interest in Lockpicking but never gave it much thought other than that, lately though (past few weeks) I got alot more interest by reading around.

Soon after I came across this website, I believe from watching some simple lockiping at youtube where I saw the link to here. Hopefully I will get my lockpick set next week so I can get started. Can't wait, I hope to learn alot from people and this forums.

welcome to the site Spanair,
and every one else!

Lockpicking is quite a fun hobby- it takes a bit of skill, and it is rewarding when you conquer it.

This site is a great collection of knowledge about locks and all you can do with/to them- in threads and in the users.

have fun!
